Following an update to 10.6, I got the initial problem with M7.01 where it wouldn't start properly. That kind-of fixed itself after I loudly verbalised my disapproval and restarted M. I am not currently experiencing problems with M. I'm running one of the new macbook pro things, but doubt that is of any real significance. All latest OS updates [ inc sleeping disk ] installed. Anything particular I should try to induce the problem ? Peter 2009/10/15 DrMajorBob <btreat1 at austin.rr.com>: > OK.
